Proposing merge from species Marburg marburgvirus to monotypic genus Marburgvirus

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To merge Marburg marburgvirus into Marburgvirus, the latter being preferred as a common name. Klbrain (talk) 06:27, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - The species article Marburg marburgvirus and the monotypic genus article Marburgvirus are sizable but share much of the same content. Not sure if WP:MONOTYPICFLORA trumps WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA but Marburgvirus is probably the more well-known term. --Nessie (talk) 16:10, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also Marburg virus - There also is Marburg virus, which theoretically could be the member virus of Marburg marburgvirus, but the article is not clear which rank it concerns. Marburg marburgvirus is not a monotypic species, however, as it also contains Ravn virus. I think Marburg virus could be made into an article for the member virus, but it would take some major disentangling. --Nessie (talk) 03:25, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I support the merger of Marburg marburgvirus with Marburgvirus, but oppose the additional merging of Marburg virus into this. Marburg virus (MARV) seems to be distinct from Ravn virus {RAVV}, both being included in Marburg marburgvirus, and each should have its own page. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:51, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Update of genus (and species) names

As of 2023, the genus name is now Orthomarburgvirus, and within this we have the species Orthomarburgvirus marburgense. Note the parallel change in Ebolavirus too. https://ictv.global/taxonomy/taxondetails?taxnode_id=20181571 or check in https://ictv.global/taxonomy

However, I don't have the expertise, or time to figure out the process, to change these article titles & content so completely. Is anyone else up for it? Grothmag (talk) 15:48, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
